3virew; An American Terror (2014)
By William Pattison
This time I got a morality urban horror story about friends
that want to show it to the socials at their school dance.
A group of friends hatch a plan to get revenge on the
bullies who have been tormenting them. In doing so, they stumble upon an
underground torture chamber filled with unspeakable horrors. Trapped by a
madman, they are used to fulfill his demented, bloody fantasies one at a time.
Their only hope for survival is to fight back and find a way to escape the
killer's bloody grip.
I love films like this that include societal commentary and
the horror of what happens when people push other people too hard.
This film tells the.story of Josh And Sammy, played byGramm
Edmonds andTaylor Hulet. It is the part of Josh that really makes the film
because he starts going through a redemption arch and actually become an
unwilling hero when he has to protect a social girl namedYadha who is played by
Louise McDonald, he and Sammy kidnap and take to their sadistic “mentor” The Plague
Doctor, brilliantly creepy by Brian
Thompson.
But it is when Josh turns on Sammy and the Plague Doctor that this film actually gets good. Sammy
decides that he is still going to earn glory by poison gassing all the socials
and school official at the dance. This is when Josh must either talk Sammy out
of doing his suicide mission pr stop him anyway he can.
This film is excellently done because in fact there aren’t
any innocent people in the story. They are all tainted and guilty, including
Josh and Tasha.
The director was a real fan of Rob Zombie’s Firefly Trilogy
and wanted to make this film more realistic with characters that weren’t either
good or evil because real people are a bit of both. I say he was successful in
this and this film NSDTY GOOD!!!
